Linking the Extended Project Qualification to A level subjects Students can study the Extended Project qualification alongside their A levels, this allows them to study an area of interest in greater depth, develop skills that will help in higher education and the workplace and attain further UCAS points.

Project titles can relate to anything so we’ve developed starting points and ideas for topics linked to A level subjects, as well as issues related to the wider world to help get you started. These can be found in our links to subjects and links to organisations pages.

Keep an eye on our links to subject page as the list of subjects

and guidance will continue to increase!

Linking the Project Qualification to BTEC Qualifications

Students can study the Project Qualification alongside their BTEC qualifications as:

they facilitate learners to understand the significance of carrying out

relevant and reliable primary and secondary research

they develop skills in time management, independent learning and

knowledge of accurate referencing that can be transferred into further study, employment or used in work experience placements.

View our top tips for implementing the Project Qualification alongside BTEC qualifications on our website. This document can be found in the documents box under Teacher Support Materials: www.edexcel.com/quals/project/level1and2
